Strict Grammer Rules

EVE currently have very strict grammar rules, to avoid errors. Please follow them:

  1. Make a new line for every variable - Don't have mutliple on one line
  2. Make sure the name of text variables have quotes around it - Ex: 'Parent/Name' :: 5, not Parent/Name = 5
  3. Make sure to have a ; after the end bracket
  4. Make sure to have spaces between parents, operators and values - Ex: 'Parent' :: 'Value', not 'Parent'::'Value'. The same thing for other functions
  5. Make sure to have the right define symbols in front - Ex: $Define = 'Method', not Define = 'Method'
  6. Don't make comment on lines with code - Ex: @A new line for comments, not ?bool = False @Don't do this!
  7. Of course also make sure to have the opening and closing brackets

Example use

Here are examples of how to use EVE

example.eve

[
  @ This is a comment

  @ String variables
  'Name' :: 'Eric'
  'Age' :: '21'
  'Country' :: 'USA'
  'City' :: 'New York'

  @ Boolean variables
  ?hasGirlfriend = False
];

example.py

import eve

result = eve.load('example.eve')
print(result['Name'])
result['Age'] = '22'
eve.save(result, 'example.eve')

ATOM grammar syntax highlighting
